LYRICS
Hey you
Snap to
It’s time to get up
Got to move
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe know
Make no mistake
When the levee breaks
You’ve got to move
The levee broke today
We have no place to stay
Mountain man left his home
Weep and moan
Hey you
Snap to
It’s time to get up
Got to move
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe know
Make no mistake
When the levee breaks
You’ve got to move
The levee broke
Mama you got to move
Ain’t no joke
The levee broke
Behooves to move
All last night
I ran from the levee and moaned
Mean ole levee mowed down my home
All last night
You can cry with all your might
Won’t do you no good… only running could
